Sleep

July 16, 2008

I feel that I am not jinxing myself because this been happening for about 2 weeks now. I thought about posting about it before but again, last time I wrote about sleep, well it jinxed me.

Max has been going to sleep at 8:30 pm every night. We start bath at 7:45 pm and then we do a massage for a few minutes, read some books and rock in the rocking chair and then finish his bottle and then go to sleep. It is so nice. I am loving it and I also see that Max is so much better rested. So yes, to the point, Max is waking up between 5 am and 5:45 am and then I go in and sleep in his bed till 6:30/7 am. I am confident that Max will learn how to sleep by the next baby. I am feeling so much better now that I am sleeping too. Horray!!

I also want to say that is feels great that we chose to do the sleep thing in a way that worked for us. Max has not been back in our bed since I started the transition to his room. I think it would be too confusing for him. It has been about a 2 month process and I am so happy for Max and well I am happy for me too. I did a very loving method with Max and his sleep issues. Keep in mind that I am not saying that other methods are not loving but this is what felt like love for us.

I am not sure if I will do anything different with the next one. I think it will be pretty much the same and I am sure it will all work out. What did you do with your child?

    Sleep… it is the best. This is really one of those issues that every family has to navigate in its own way… there is no silver bullet and there are no easy answers. In the end, we all figure out what works best for us and for our kids. Good for you for trusting yourself!

    Unfortunately, every kid is different. So, things that worked for Porgie, did not always work for Izzy - like co-sleeping. I hope the next baby sleeps like a champ!
